Science Buddies has several programs that depend on dedicated volunteers:

Science Buddies Ambassador  

Even if you aren't a scientific or technical professional, Science Buddies still needs your help! Our new Science Buddies Ambassador role is a quick and convenient way to spread the word about our much-needed services to teachers and students who aren't familiar with us. You can spend as much, or as little, time on it as you like, and the volunteer duties can be completed at your convenience.

The Ask an Expert Program

The Ask an Expert Program is focused around an online bulletin board that offers personalized help to answer anyone and everyone's science fair questions: Ask an Expert. Most questions come from students, but occasionally a parent or teacher asks for advice.

Science Fair Project Ideas

Science Buddies encourages science and technical professionals to help in the process of creating, reviewing, testing, and editing new Project Ideas (previously called Starter Kits) for science fair projects in their area of expertise. This is a great way to share your knowledge with budding young scientists without any requirement to mentor. If you are interested in helping with Project Idea development, please email us for additional information.
